DETAILS LETTER FROM MICHELSON Subsequent to the preparation of the June 26, 1979 report of investigation, Michelson furnished a copy of a June 13 1979 letter that he had written to Dr. Max Carbon, Chairman, Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards.
In this letter Michelsen provides Dr. Carbon his views regarding the sufficiency of either Part 21 or 10 CFR 50.55(e) to assure reporting of new, safety-related concepts or ideas. A copy of this letter is appended as enclosure (1).

Both agreed that no additional investi-gative effort was warranted and that any remaining questions such as the adequacy of the Part 21 procedures for B&W or TVA could be resolved by inspection activities rather than by an investigation.
